My mind exists so far outside the box, I often squeeze myself in for others’ benefit, shutting doors behind me. Thankfully w art, the only box is your canvas, but what you do with it is anything but contained. I’ve named him Fleurabus. #art #sketching #artjournal #creativeexercise #CalebRobertson

“Art is struggle. It may all be in vain. But no one who cares about art can give up[…]: Even on the best days, even when the world isn’t going mad with delusion and hatred, art is a struggle to stay sane and live with purpose. It’s always been about surviving the darkness.”
